About Gold Bunny Rose
Rosa 'Gold Bunny' is a moderate-growing shrub in the Rosaceae family. It reaches around 90 cm tall and 70 cm wide at maturity, with deciduous foliage. Yellow flowers appear for much of the year.
Where to grow Gold Bunny Rose
Gold Bunny Rose suits warm-temperate, cool-temperate, Mediterranean and subtropical climates and grows best in full sun. It is frost hardy and shrugs off cold winters.
Soil & planting
Gold Bunny Rose does best in free-draining and loamy soil. Plant into well-prepared ground, firm the soil around the roots and water deeply to settle it in. For a screen, space plants about 50 cm apart.
Watering & feeding
Gold Bunny Rose does best with regular, moderate watering. Feed as new growth begins, following the rate on a balanced garden fertiliser. Keep a newly planted specimen evenly watered through its first season; established plants can then follow the water needs above.
Pruning & care
Prune Gold Bunny Rose after flowering to keep it compact and encourage the next flush of blooms. It clips well, so trim two or three times a year for a formal finish. For most gardens, it is low maintenance.
Using Gold Bunny Rose in the garden
Gold Bunny Rose earns its place for a feature or specimen planting, cut flowers for the vase, pots and courtyard containers and a fast screen or informal hedge. It is equally at home in the ground or a large pot on a balcony or courtyard.
Companion planting & design
Gold Bunny Rose sits most comfortably beside plants adapted to regular, moderate watering and warm-temperate climate. A small cluster gives stronger visual impact than isolated plants scattered through the garden.
Good to know
It is thorny — useful as a barrier, but wear gloves when pruning.
